"I think you have made a mistake," said Winterbourne. "You should sometimes listen to a gentleman—the right one."
I read this as part of the Rory Gilmore challenge.
Henry James use of words like “Well!" ejaculated Miss Miller,” are sexual charged and read strangely but interestingly
Daisy Miller is a headstrong American women who wouldn’t be out of place nowadays. This book is interesting as a historical account. Daisy miller is modern women which makes her a very likable character. But the eras is drenched in misogyny and pre-globalisation isolationism.
Their is illness representation which was actually okay - the book describes her headaches as constant problem & one of the characters who asks “surely she doesn’t have a headache everyday” The book explains maybe not be the condition is relentless.

Great novella! A nice warm up of James’ writing style before reading The Portrait of a Lady.

This book has been called a novella because it’s very short at about 120 pages. It was published in 1879. Despite its age, the story focuses on an issue that’s still relevant today…being different is OK. It’s a story about Daisy Miller, a beautiful young America woman who enjoys flirting, talking, and hanging out with men she meets in Switzerland and Italy. Her actions are seen by others as not appropriate and unsophisticated. But you gotta love Daisy because she doesn’t care what others think! It’s an odd story, yet I’m still glad I read it. Thank you Debra Blackwell for recommending it. I give it 3 of 5 stars.
